Eroza

Appearance: Eroza has long, slightly wavy brown hair that falls midway down her back that she prefers to wear down. She has intense green eyes. Just a little taller than average, she's muscular but has just enough curves to keep her looking feminine. Over all she's attractive, but not gorgeous. She also has a couple inch scar along her left side where a fellow apprentice's knife slipped and cut her.

Personality: Eroza is a strong willed, outspoken young lady. Emotions tend to run strong in her and it's taken turns for her to learn to temper herself and gain enough control not to tell people just what she thinks of them (usually in unflattering terms). Other emotions she's better able to hide, but anger she really has to work at. She's also fiercely protective and loyal towards her friends, but also to people in general. She'd rather risk injury to herself or getting in trouble than risk someone else getting hurt while she stood by.

History: Eroza was born in a small hold outside Arolos Hold to Tyza and Ernon. The third daughter in a large family, there were far fewer expectations and responsibilities to the family put upon her. That left her able to pursue a craft, an option not given to her older sisters. She apprenticed to the tannercraft up north, liking that it was a fairly physical craft, but it also afforded opportunities to create nice things. She stayed with the craft until she was 19 when she was Searched for Ista Weyr. When she failed to Impress within a turn, she requested to be transferred to Arolos where she could continue to Stand and work in the tanner craft and also be near her family again.

Information about Eroza's dragon

Dragon Name: Anath

Colour: Green

Age: 0

Wing (Weyrling Group): MelodyMakers

Appearance: If a dragon is capable of smiling, Anath would be the one to manage it. As it is, she radiates happiness most of the time. She also radiates nervousness and pretty much any other emotion she's feeling. She's the light colored green of new grass, a pretty much uniform color except for hints of darker green towards her hindquarters and the tip of her hail. She'll always be a bit on the small, thin, more delicate side and will never outgrow looking like a young green.

Personality: Are you awake? Will you come and play? Anath has to be awake, her eyes refuse to sleep any more and so she'll make sure her lifemate is awake too. Any enticement she can think of will be offered to get her rider up and out of bed, because Anath just hates being on her own.

That's a trait that will last. If her rider ever has cause to pull away from her or pay her less attention, they're likely to find her curled up and madly in love with another dragon, regardless of that dragon's suitability (and if her rider dares even think that they're an unlikely match, many hurt feelings will result). Anath doesn't just want to be loved, she needs it like she needs water and air. Her rider will be first and best, always and always, but if her rider leaves her lonely then she will look for other company.

She's sweet, but she's also naive. All fairy stories are real, and all of them have happy endings always. It leaves her open to being hurt badly - look out for this little one, she won't always look out for herself.

She'll be fascinated by tales of snow and beg for trips to go see such an unlikely thing, but when playing in it is done she'll beg just as keenly to go home again to the warmth. She's an Arolos creature, through and through, and any transfer from her home is likely to be fought hard.
